Listen up to the full show here
This show had two pretty distinct sections - the first hour and last song were dedicated to my beautiful brand new little daughter Poppy Lea and then in the second I busted into a bit of ethio-jazz with an interview and showcase of tunes from Mulatu Astatke. Was so awesome to spend an hour or so listen to rattle on (what? he's like 70, he went on on and was happy to listen!). The show on Sunday was great, hope you had chance to catch the man. If you didn't just dig on this youtube clip of him with the Heliocentrics. Catto is king!
Some tunes what I reckon youse should check:
Bobby Caldwell 'Open Your Eyes' (Clouds 45, 1980) mediafire
Man have I been sleeping on this one or what? Don't often venture into the 80's for funk/disco/soul but Bobby took me there and thank crap he did. Of course I was first suckered in by the lure of some sample-spotting-nerdery but I love everything about it and it's been on lock in my little brain since I scooped a month ago.
Delegation 'Oh Honey' (Shady Brook 12", 1977) mediafire
This tune just makes me feel good on the inside, you know what I mean? I had the 45 for years and then recently came up on it on 12" (which I didn't realise existed) on the el cheapo courtesy of my friend and yours, ebay. Makes me think of my little girl a lot now so hopefully it takes you where you want to go
